At the oratory known as Templemanaghan, or Teampall Mhanacháin, or sometimes Teampall Geal, on the lower eastern slopes of Lateevemore in County Kerry, this happened not once but several times over. Four boulders built into the inner wall-face of the oratory carry inscribed crosses between them: three of the stones bear simple equal-armed crosses, one carrying four such crosses, another two, and a third just one. A fourth stone is distinguished by its cross having expanded terminals, a design in which the arms flare slightly outward at their ends, a refinement that suggests a degree of intention and craft beyond the merely functional.

The site, which also goes by the name Teampall Geal, sits within an associated burial ground on the eastern slopes of Lateevemore, with views across Dingle Harbour and the Milltown valley below. Cross-slabs of this kind are a recognisable feature of early Irish Christianity: roughly worked stones, sometimes boulders, sometimes cut slabs, inscribed with crosses and incorporated into ecclesiastical buildings or set up as grave markers. They are rarely dateable with precision, but they belong broadly to the early medieval monastic tradition that left so many quiet traces across the Dingle Peninsula. The site and its cross-slabs were documented by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey of the peninsula, a landmark regional study that brought systematic attention to the dense concentration of early Christian and prehistoric remains in this part of west Kerry.
